The recursive search incorrectly treats first-class callable creation as an executed parent call, suppressing the missing-call diagnostic even when parent setup never runs.

What changed in this PR
This PR reduces false positives in ShouldCallParentMethodsRule by recognizing parent lifecycle calls nested inside control-flow statements.
Changes:
- Replaces the top-level scan with recursive traversal, excluding nested functions and classes.
- Adds fixtures for conditionals, try/catch/finally blocks, closures, and anonymous classes.
- Updates expected diagnostics for methods whose parent calls occur only in nested scopes.
| File | Description |
|---|---|
| tests/Rules/PHPUnit/ShouldCallParentMethodsRuleTest.php | Adds expected missing-parent-call diagnostics. |
| tests/Rules/PHPUnit/data/missing-parent-method-calls.php | Adds control-flow and nested-scope regression cases. |
| src/Rules/PHPUnit/ShouldCallParentMethodsRule.php | Recursively detects parent calls while skipping nested scopes. |
